How can he have 30 less than guys who DNQed if they only docked him 25?

I think it's more the intent they punished than the result, but it's not like Chad doesn't have a history of trying to slip things past the tech team is it?

@SB, wasn't that spy shot of the Dodge taken in the Penske workshop?

he's -23, but he might as well be -500.

Even if he wins 4 races straight, leads the most laps, and Kenseth finishes second in them, he'll still be 43 points behind Kenseth after it, not to mention all the guys who'll be between them.

NASCAR have basically screwed his entire season, guess that's what you get for trying to slip one past them.

Robby Gordon as the loan Dodge team next year wouldn't be worth the development time. Plus you never know when Robby could just close up shop.

dodge should make MWR or RPM their factory team.

Where does Dodge go in 2013? A new manufacturer in Cup? Dodge will unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup car on March 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, the bigger question now is who will be driving Dodges next year? Robby Gordon Motorsports would be the lone team at this point after Penske Racing announced Thursday that it was moving to manufacturer Ford in 2013. But Dodge has also reached out to other teams, including Richard Petty Motorsports, according to owner Andy Murstein. "We received calls from several manufacturers today asking if they could meet with us," Murstein said. "It seems that while sponsorship is down, car manufacturer support is strong. That is probably due to the fact that the car companies are all doing significantly better these days than a few years ago. Thus Petty has been approached by several manufacturers recently. What's interesting is that while there are the usual suspects there is one new manufacturer that is trying to break into the sport. RPM's contract with Ford is up at the end of the season. Petty ran Dodges from 1972 to 1978. Petty Enterprises aligned with Dodge again when the manufacturer returned to NASCAR competition in 2001 through most of the 2009 season, then under the RPM banner. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing president Steve Lauletta said the company had not yet been approached by Dodge.(Fox Sports)
AND: Richard Petty Motorsports said: "We welcome Penske Racing to the Ford Racing Family in 2013. Additional teams mean more information for everyone and that's a very good thing from a competition standpoint. We have a partnership with Roush Fenway Racing and we are happy to be a part of the Ford Racing program. As we always do, we will evaluate all of our options and make decisions based on what is ultimately best for our race team."(RPM)(3-2-2012)
